We dare not give up on our boys

This is the story of Jabu Nyembe. Jabu was born and raised in Zola, Soweto, just as the 1960s were coming to an end. He lived an interesting life. Especially for one who died when he was only 15. Jabu was my cousin. He was also a thug. The streets gave him the name Mgedla. He always was a problem child. Before he was 10, he had quit school and he returned many times.
